Hot & Heavy: The Elaine Benes Podcast
Elaine is held accountable for charging personal luxuries on her J Peterman expense account. We get so many Benestanza scenes that deliver all the entertainment we seek from Elaine and George plots. This episode has some of the most memorable moments from the series and is definitely a highlight for this season.

info_outline The Checks - Season 8 Episode 7Hot & Heavy: The Elaine Benes Podcast
Elaine's dashing and intense boyfriend keeps choosing the song "Desperado" over her. We also learn that Elaine has terrible taste in music. JLD has some decent moments, but most of the comedy comes from James Patrick Stuart who plays Desperado-obsessed Brett. It also isn't clear if Jerry kills Brett since the end is different depending on if you watch the episode on Netflix vs. the DVD.

info_outline The Fatigues - Season 8 Episode 6Hot & Heavy: The Elaine Benes Podcast
Elaine doesn't display the best judgement when she keeps promoting a very scary mailroom employee. JLD gets to act with the brilliant Ned Bellamy and their chemistry makes this plot work beautifully. Also I got on a tangent about My So-Called Life. Enjoy! Insta - @hotheavyelaine TikTok - @elainebenespodcast Email - [email protected]
info_outline The Package - Season 8 Episode 5Hot & Heavy: The Elaine Benes Podcast
A bunch of jerk-face doctors deny Elaine medical care for a rash. This episode is a let down following The Little Kicks, but JLD does have some fun moments and quite a bit of screen time. Enjoy! Insta - @hotheavyelaine TikTok - @elainebenespodcast Email - [email protected]

info_outline The Bizarro Jerry - Season 8 Episode 3Hot & Heavy: The Elaine Benes Podcast
This is such a fun episode all around and especially for Elaine, who sees an out from her friendships with Jerry, George and Kramer. She thinks the Bizarro World is the better choice, however, she turns out to be too corrupt to fit in. JLD gets a lot of fun situations to play in this episode and the concept of Bizarro World is a blast to watch. Plus, a special treat thanks to my 10-year-old son's school project. Hint: Jillian's favorite president is super problematic! Follow the pod on the socials! Insta - @hotheavyelaine TikTok - @elainebenespodcast Email - [email protected]
info_outline The Soul Mate - Season 8 Episode 2Hot & Heavy: The Elaine Benes Podcast
Elaine's wish to not have a baby attracts a new man, Kevin, who feels like procreating has been done to death! JLD displays some subtle brilliance with one word responses and slight physicalities. The Soul Mate is a great setup for the next episode, which contains one of the best Elaine plots. Solid episode overall. Insta - @hotheavyelaine TikTok - @elainebenespodcast Email - [email protected]
info_outline The Foundation - Season 8 Episode 1Hot & Heavy: The Elaine Benes Podcast
When Peterman flees to Burma in search of a mental health break, he appoints Elaine as the head of the company. Elaine thinks she cannot do the job until Kramer motivates her using his experience in karate classes. The confidence backfires after Elaine makes the disastrous decision to put the urban sombrero on the cover of the catalog. I always love an Elaine and Kramer pairing in an episode! JLD doesn't get too much comedy, but this premise does set up a fabulous arc for Elaine this season. Follow the pod on social media: Insta - @hotheavyelaine TikTok - @elainebenespodcast Email -...
info_outline The Invitations - Season 7 Episode 22Hot & Heavy: The Elaine Benes Podcast
George is finally free from Susan after some toxic glue takes her down... permananetly. Elaine's plot is non-existent due to the real George Steinbrenner's cameo performance. The deleted scenes between JLD and Steinbrenner are so bad that even if they were included, the storyline would have ranked as one of the worst in the series. I also discuss the comments Jason Alexander made during a 2015 Howard Stern interview that painted Heidi Swedberg (who played Susan) in a bad light.
info_outline The Wait Out - Season 7 Episode 21Hot & Heavy: The Elaine Benes Podcast
Elaine and Jerry are super horny for a couple that just separated after George makes a folksy comment. We also learn that Elaine is a terrible driver and wreaks havoc all over New York City in a sky blue Ford Taurus. Kramer wears super snug dungarees to prove to Jerry he can still pull them off, but the tightness causes problem after problem that eventually lands him in a police interrogation room. Finally a quality episode for JLD to show all her talents in her comedy toolbox. Enjoy! HH Social: Insta - @hotheavyelaine TikTok - @elainebenespodcast Email - [email protected]...
